   Have you gone looking for the folder it says is missing?

   Hi,

   You can easily overcome this problem by editing the php.ini file located in etc/ folder, uncommenting the line upload_tmp_dir (by deleting the semi-colon “;”) and pointing the variable to a folder using an absolute path. In Linux possible steps are:

   1. open a terminal
   2. create a temporary folder for all apache tasks in your user folder and grant all right to all users:

   mkdir wwwtmp && chmod 0777 wwwtmp

   3. edit php.ini with your text editor and set the temporary folder (you must switch to root user)

   su
   vim /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
   upload_tmp_dir = /home/my_user/wwwtmp/
   Remeber to remove preceding “;”

   4. save the file (in vim type :wq an press enter) and restart xampp

   /opt/lampp/./lampp restart

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
